Issues Encountered: 1. Lack of Communication: Despite…read moremultiple attempts to communicate my specific preferences and requirements, there was a noticeable lack of responsiveness from Trinity. This created unnecessary stress in the weeks leading up to the event and added cost to me. See examples below. 2. Did not follow through with what was promised. 3. Over-billing/deceptive billing practices/pressure-billing 4. Lack of professionalism 5. Very poor execution of my vision The following examples illustrate why I would not recommend this company: 1. I booked their services in early June and at this time had initial conversations with Trinity regarding my vision and planning/designing services that Trinity was going to facilitate. Then on July 5th, I sent a follow up email confirm décor options/cake etc. An entire month went by without any response from Trinity or her team, which prompted me to write another email on August 10th expressing my frustration; finally, Trinity called me that day. I was asked to create a pinterest board for her so she had a better idea of my vision which I worked very hard on in order to paint a clear picture and completed promptly. On September 5th, I once again had to initiate contact in order to go over MANY specifics that were still not confirmed on her end (flowers, stage, dance floor, lighting etc.). I made multiple requests to see the décor options she had available so I could finalize my tablescape vision, and was told that I could view them in their warehouse in Oct the day of our tasting, didn't happen. Now just weeks before my wedding in November, I still haven't received any confirmation regarding flowers, staging, dance floor, lighting, or their optional décor items! I sent another text asking to confirm flowers on November 1st, she responded that she would confirm that following day. A week goes by and still no follow up. I request to set another phone call, she responded 5 days later, we set a time to chat, she never called. Now just 3 weeks before my wedding, I still don't have any quote for lighting, staging, dance floor, or flowers! Not to mention, I had to send pictures of my vision multiple times (why did I work so hard on my pinterest board??). Finally, on November 22, two weeks before my wedding, I receive a quote for the rental items previously mentioned and flowers which resulted in an increase of approx.. $10,000 to our final invoice!! Because she waited until last minute to provide me with this quote, I had literally no time to get other quotes, and had to just eliminate a lot of what I wanted. Upon expressing my frustration of the lack of communication and the pressure placed on upon me due to limited timing, she used the excuse that "no one is responding, because they are so busy"; keep in my mind that she had MONTHS to receive these quotes but SHE waited last minute to confirm them. I ended up reaching out to the rental company she was using for the dance floor and lighting, and immediately got a response and a new quote that was $1,000 less! That turned out to be the best decision, because working directly with this rental company was a breeze and the responded to me IMMEDIATELY. 2. On my original signed contract, the invoice delineated bartender costs as $55/unit. On my final invoice, the cost increased to $275/unit. 3. On the original signed contract, the invoice delineated set up/breakdown cost as $0. This was consistent with their website and contract stating that set up and breakdown was included and at no additional cost. However, on my final invoice my set up/breakdown cost was now $525. Trinity stated that the cost was "always" $500, and that she only charged an additional $25 for the extra roses and 5 extra people, which is a frankly a complete lie. I saved pdf's of all the invoices, including the original one signed in June and all the subsequent versions up until the final invoice provided on Dec. 7th. It went from $0, to $300, to $525, with the latter increased price only appearing on the FINAL invoice I received. 4. On the day of my wedding, not only did Trinity's team arrive 2 hours late to set up (Trinity herself didn't get there till much later even), but multiple of these extra helpers were kids! There were two young girls setting up the décor for my reception tables, with no direction mind you. Absolutely unacceptable. 5. In addition, I bought hundreds of candles for my tablescape décor and was very clear of my vision and adamant that I wanted a lot of candles to be placed on the tables; Trinity ignored my request, stating "she didn't want to overload the tables". So instead, my round tables had maybe 4-5 candles and looked pathetic, and wasted my money due to numerous unused candles! ...see wedding wire for full review.

She was always quick to respond to our email questions and reviewed all of the details with us over the phone a few weeks before the wedding. Booking a destination wedding sight unseen can be like taking a leap of faith, and soon after talking to Ivanka, we realized we couldn't have been in better hands. We were not expecting to be able to choose as many things about the ceremony as we did--we had an afternoon beach wedding followed by a 3 hour sunset sail reception (highly recommend adding the extra hour for the sunset sail) for 19 people including ourselves-- and we were able to select from choices for the decorations, flowers, music (we had a steel drummer who was also our DJ on the boat, DJ El Capitan,--he was fantastic!), vows, and cake. Ivanka provided us with information on how to obtain our marriage license, recommendations for transportation (we used Old Town Trolley Tours), hair, makeup, and wedding insurance along the way. Any questions we had, she had answers to. Ivanka served as both our wedding coordinator and photographer - we cannot say enough about how amazing she is. Our day went seamlessly, our family and friends had a fantastic time, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We received our beautiful pictures in only 2 weeks! The boat crew was also fantastic--they were so accommodating for all of our guests. Ivanka encouraged us to add on additional sandwiches to the food on the boat and we were so glad that we did--the appetizers would definitely be considered "light" appetizers, even for our smaller group, so the sandwiches were a must. If you opt for the sunset sail (highly recommended), just have reasonable expectations about the food - this is not going to be a sit-down dinner, but with appropriate expectations you will be pleased. After we returned from our sail, we went with our guests to the Waterfront Brewery for drinks and appetizers/food and this was a really great complement to what was available on the boat. Overall, our wedding was a perfect day for us. While we were able to have input into almost everything, I strongly encourage you to trust the process and to trust Ivanka. If you are looking to have an intimate ceremony without the stress and pressure of coordinating venues and vendors, then I couldn't recommend this enough!

Keep in mind I'm a bride that did EVERYTHING and provided EVERYTHING from extra roses to all of my centerpieces. I hired them as my day of coordinators and florist. So let's talk about the day of my wedding or the day of desasters. First all the corsages were missing, I was 1 bouquet short, and 2 flower girls wreaths didn't make it. After I call her she said she would send them to the church. I get to the church which was suppose to have been fully decorated and 1 of the coordinators was meant to be there. No one is there and there is NOTHING decorated. Nothing on the isles, and in the front they literally threw flowers on a base with no order. It wasn't an arrangement the church coordinator told me they just threw the flowers there. The church was missing the correct sign to pick a seat not a side instead they put the pictures intended to be in the venue. Needless to say I never saw any grand occasion represative in the church. I had to carry my own picture from the church to the venue in my limo!!! When I finally make it to the venue they send a girl whom I've never met to coordinate the entrance, my 2 weeding coordinators were nowhere to be found. When she makes it out she's dressed in sneakers leggings and a tshirt (my wedding was a mandatory black tie event) and she tells me to tell my maid of honor who is trying her best for me not to notice the chaos to "fucking relax." When I get inside the venue I swear I wanted to sit and cry!! The centerpieces weren't done, half of the dessert station was missing, my chocolate fountain (I paid them for an attendant) wasn't even up, the sweetheart table went from having 4 flower arrangement to having NONE! The centerpieces were chandeliers and they meant to have floweres on top, they had none! There were candle sticks with balls of hydrangeas on top, instead she put a candle on top, basically I barely had flowers! Needless to say I didn't see ANY grand occasion representative with the exception of the meeting outside the venue, my MC coordinated everything thankfully! When I returned from my honeymoon she refunded me for all she was missing which the money at that point meant crap considering I spent 25 times what she gave me. And to top it off the check has bounced event since! I can't even get my money back! It's been 2 months and the check still doesn't have funds and she doesn't answer her phone! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY I still have nightmares about my wedding! I've cried endless tears for the mess they made! They had personal chaos and her excuse was "either I didn't do your event or I did what it did"! And I can guarantee I would have rather then cancel even a week prior to event!
